The South Dakota State Legislature fully repealed a major anti-corruption law earlier this year that voters approved in November 2016. But voters in the state may get a second chance at reform.

Represent South Dakota, a nonpartisan anti-corruption organization that campaigned for the 2016 ballot measure, is now working to enshrine elements of the repealed law in the state's constitution through a voter-approved amendment.

President Donald Trump made a last-ditch plea to U.S. Senate Republicans Monday to fulfill seven years of campaign promises to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama's signature health care law.

The Senate will vote today on whether to open debate on an overhaul of the law, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promising an open amendment process and a "robust" debate.

Tesla may soon be saved by California -- and its taxpayers.

The State Assembly passed a bill, AB 1184, to increase subsidizes for electric car purchases to $3 billion over the next 7 years. The bill favors manufacturers that make electric-only cars, like Tesla, over companies that sell hybrids.

And there is no bigger electric-only company than Tesla, which means it may soon get a major bailout courtesy of the California taxpayer.

The battle between Donald Trump and CNN may be the most explosive President vs. Network battle yet, but it’s by no means the first.

You don’t have to think far back to recall that President Obama had a few harsh words for Fox News...it was just that he had stopped short of calling them fake news.

US voters say lawmakers on Capitol Hill care more about what the media is saying than what voters want. That is what a new Rasmussen poll found.

Rasmussen published the results of a new poll Monday that shows 55% of respondents "believe what the media thinks matters more to the average member of Congress than what voters think."

Possibly even more troubling than that is only 21% of respondents said they believe the average member of Congress cares what their constituents think. All one needs to do is try to call their representative to know the extent of this.

In a recent interview for IVN, Gary Johnson consultant Ron Nielson said Johnson "would be a fantastic senator" if he chose to run in 2018 against New Mexico's Democratic junior senator, Martin Heinrich.

When pressed on whether Johnson would consider making a bid for the U.S. Senate next year, Nielson had no comment, saying:

President Donald Trump is set to deliver a statement on health care at 3:15 p.m. ET.

Trump's statement will follow his participation "in a greeting with victims of Obamacare," the White House said in a news release.

The president commented on the Republicans' attempt to change the U.S. health care system in a Sunday Twitter post:

It would seem to make sense that the removal of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer would mean the return of the televised White House Press Briefing with Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Much has been made of the cancellation of the daily press briefing, particularly from CNN. CNN's Jim Acosta called the move "un-American and dangerous for democracy."

Sean Spicer's resignation as press secretary is adding more fuel to the argument that the Trump administration is growing all the more tumultuous.

At 182 days, Spicer outlasted a few predecessors.

However, each of the 5 men who held the position for less time than Spicer had his term impacted by special circumstances.

Here's the rank and stories behind each short stint:
